Had an absolute blast celebrating my birthday here. Staff were super friendly, attentive, and even went the extra mile to make it a special evening. And the food... where to begin?! I've travelled extensively through SE Asia and their fusion take brought back memories but also bold new combinations. The beef cheek Massman was incredible... Wishing we could do our entire vacation in NZ again, starting with Cheek and Chong
I'd had this place on my 'dining bucket list' for a while now and I was so happy to finally get the chance to go there last night.
We had a 5.30pm booking. The venue was at a lovely level of patronage when we arrived. A table for two. Our service was impeccable all night. We had a young lad look after us towards the end and he was incredible.
Our food was made and delivered to us with what I thought was exceptional spend.
I had the eggplant chips (not in the photo) and they were heavenly! My main was the crispy tofu (pictured). The tofu wasn't crispy and by the time I got to eating it, it was actually quite soggy which was a bit disappointing. But dish flavors were a party for my palette.
The menu had good identification around dietary restrictions. Plenty of vegetarian options too.
As we ended our meal, around 7ish, the noise level was really high and it was hard to have a conversation. I really struggled with this and left earlier than I'd have liked as a result.
Take aways for me - exceptional service, great food but for me, probably better enjoyed at a quieter time.
The food was absolutely amazing and I'd def recommend going here. Right on the street with good outdoor seating. Bit loud inside but doesn't detract from the excellent food.
